Hi everyone,

since early this year I am working on upgrading the electronics of my new steamer. (I'll showcase that one once the electronics work the way I want them to)
A big part of that has been an improved power supply to the loco from the tender allowing for a detailed interior as well as quickly connecting the train.
I've build a new coupler being able to transfer the PF cable from the tender to the loco without any further interaction.

I've equipped all four couplers of the loco + tender with these couplers and they work fine on R40-S-curves as well as switches and everything else I have at home.
I can even run the tender on the non-cab-side of the loco and it'll run just as fine.
This not only frees up space in the cockpit, but I also plan on equipping my coaches with lights soon, that connect via these couplers.

I wrote a documentation with full instructions, STL file and electrical background of the project that can be found at http://flemmbrav.de/E-Coupler/Home.html, aiming to update it in the future in case the design improves.
Please feel free to build your own, I do not claim exclusivity on this design :).
You can also find a small video showcasing the coupler on the main page there.
